Parole panel says no to Lyle Menendez — one day after Erik — keeping brothers jailed 36 years after murdering their parents in Beverly Hills

Joseph Lyle Menendez was denied parole for the murder of his parents, just a day after his brother, Erik, received the same ruling. The California panel's decision keeps both brothers incarcerated despite public support for their release fueled by documentaries and a Netflix series highlighting their claims of abuse. The brothers, who shot their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion in 1989, initially claimed mafia involvement but later confessed, alleging years of abuse. This denial marks another setback for their campaign for freedom.
